  If hard or sharp objects fall on the glass ceramic panel or the glass ceramic cover, damage could occur.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE - waste electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Getting to know the appliance

Switch and indicator light

Use the switch to set the heat output of the grill. You can adjust the heat output infinitely variably. After grilling, turn the switch to 0 to switch the appliance off.

The indicator light lights up when the grill is switched on.

Note: The grill is regulated by the grill element being switched on and off. Even at maximum power, the grill element can switch on and off.

Overheating protection

The overheating protection switches the grill heating off when the grill overheats. When the grill has cooled down sufficiently, grill heating switches on again automatically.

Before using for the first time

In this section, you can find out what you must do before using your grill to prepare food for the first time. Read the Safety information section beforehand.

Cleaning

Clean the grill and accessories thoroughly before first use using lukewarm soapy water.

Heating the grill

Heat the empty grill for a few minutes at the highest setting. This will eliminate the new odour. A slight development of smoke is normal when the grill is used for the first time.

Grilling with water and lava stones

Fill the grill container with water before each use. The amount of water depends on whether or not you wish to use lava stones. The lava stones store the heat of the grill element and thus ensure intensive radiation of heat and even distribution of heat.

Filling with water and lava stones

1. Remove the wire rack and fold up the grill heating element. Take the lava stone container out of the appliance.
2. Fill water into the grill container. Grilling with lava stones: 0.7 litres (bottom mark) Grilling without lava stones: 2.5 litres (top mark)

3. To grill with lava stones: Remove the lava stones from the packaging and place them in the lava stone container. Insert the lava stone container in the appliance.

4. Fold down the grill heating element, replace the wire rack. The grill is ready for operation.

Topping up the water

If there is too little water in the grill container, the overheating protection switches the appliance off. Therefore, while grilling, monitor the water level in the grill container and top it up as necessary.

Grilling with lava stones: bottom mark

Grilling without lava stones: top mark

Risk of scalding!

If water touches the hot wire grilling rack or grill element during topping up, hot steam will be generated. Do not reach over the grill while topping up and do not pour water over the hot components.

Grilling table

The details given in the tables are guidelines and apply to a preheated grill. The values may vary depending on the type and amount of items to be grilled.

Only place the food on the grill when the preheating time has elapsed.

Turn the food on the grill at least once.

After grilling

Only close the glass ceramic cover after the grill has cooled down completely. Leave damp lava stones to dry completely before you close the glass ceramic cover or else mould could develop.

If the water is still hot when being drained, first add cold water to cool it down! To drain the water, place a heat-resistant container underneath the drain tap. Open the tap by turning the lever 90^ downwards. Then close the tap by turning the lever upwards to the stop.

Tips and tricks

Always preheat the grill. In this way, due to the intensive heat radiation, a crust can form quickly and prevent the meat juices from escaping.
- You can brush or marinate the food with heat-resistant oil (e.g. peanut oil) before grilling. This will improve the flavour. Ensure that you do not use too much oil/marinade, as this could cause the food to catch fire and generate thick smoke.
- Do not salt meat before grilling. Otherwise, soluble nutrients and meat juices could be lost.
Place the food directly on the wire rack. Do not use any aluminium foil or grill linings.
Only turn the food when it can be easily removed from the wire rack. If meat sticks to the wire rack, the fibres will be destroyed and the meat juices will escape.
- Do not prick meat during grilling or the meat juices will escape.
Cured meat, such as ham or smoked pork chops, is not suitable for grilling. A harmful compound can be produced.

Score chops several times at the bone and in the fat layer so that they do not bend during grilling.
We recommend removing the fat layer after grilling rather than before, as otherwise the meat will lose juice and flavour.
Poultry pieces will turn out particularly crispy and brown if you baste them towards the end of the grilling time with butter, salted water or orange juice.
After grilling, fruit can be seasoned to taste with honey, maple syrup or lemon juice.
Before grilling, you can precook vegetables which take a long time to cook (e.g. corn on the cob).
- Grill fish fillets skin side up first. Brush the skin with oil so that it does not stick to the wire rack.
- Serve grilled food hot. Do not keep it warm or it will become tough.
- Dripping fat can catch fire on the heating elements and can result in brief formation of flames and smoke. To reduce this, very fatty foods should be grilled over a water bath.

Care and cleaning

In this chapter you will find tips on how to maintain and clean your appliance correctly.

Risk of burns!

The appliance becomes hot during operation. Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Risk of electric shock!

Do not use high pressure washers or steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cleaning the appliance

Clean the appliance after each use, once it has cooled down. This will help prevent residues from burning on. Once residues have burned on several times, they become more difficult to remove.

Do not scrape burnt-on residues off, but leave them to soak in soapy water.

Remove the wire rack and swivel the heating element upwards. Remove the lava stone tray with the lava stones.

Appliance part/ surface
Recommended cleaning

Wire grilling rack

Remove rough residues with a wash- ing-up brush. Soak the wire rack in the sink. Clean with a washing-up brush and washing-up liquid and dry thor- oughtly. Brush stubborn dirt with our grill cleaner gel (order no. 463582) and leave to act for at least 2 hours, or overnight in severe cases. Then rinse thoroughly and dry. Note the packag- ing instructions of the cleaner. Do not clean in the dishwasher!

Lava stone tray and grill container

Remove lava stones or drain water. Clean in the sink with water and wash- ing-up liquid using a washing-up brush; dry with a soft cloth. Leave stubborn dirt to soak or remove with our grill cleaner gel (order no. 463582).

Lava stones Dry very damp lava stones occasion- ally in the oven at 200°C. This can help prevent the formation of mould. Replace lava stones when they become black. The lava stones may be fully saturated with fat and could generate a lot of smoke during use or the fat could catch fire. You can obtain the correct lava stones from your specialist retailer (order no. LV 030 000). When topping up, ensure that the grill element does not lie directly on top of the lava stones.

Appliance part/surface	Recommended cleaning
Control panel and glass ceramic cover	Clean with a soft, damp cloth and some washing-up liquid; the cloth should not be too wet. Dry off with a soft cloth.

Do not use these cleaning agents

Scouring or chemically aggressive cleaners
Acidic cleaners (e.g. vinegar, citric acid, etc)
Cleaners containing chlorine or with a high content of alcohol
Oven cleaner
Hard and scratchy sponges, brushes or scouring pads
Thoroughly wash out new sponge cloths before using them.
